A UC San Diego doctoral candidate facing deportation is now free to pursue his advanced degree, at least for one more year.

Mark Farrales, 31, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in mid-December at his home in Los Angeles. He had been ordered deported in 1998, according to ICE.

Rep. Brad Sherman, D-San Fernando Valley, intervened on Farrales’ behalf, giving the Harvard graduate time to pursue legal status.

"Last week, I contacted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials and expressed concern regarding the handling of the case of my constituent Mark Farrales,â€

But, but . . . I thought they couldn't afford to go to college (sob) because they're illegal (sob).
